DJ, I have the perfect website for you: meetups.com

It's a non sexual site where you can join into different hobbies and also supportive groups for mental heath issues.

I have heard about that site but haven't really looked into it.

I think I heard LoathsomePete talking about it so I thought I would check it out but never got really invested into it.

Well I'm going to go into a group that I like. I want to go specifically to the group that involves people with disabilities and mental health (specifically anxiety for me and my disease. I need to be around people who understand why I'm sick a lot.

that sounds like a really good idea.

If I got into one of those groups it would be most likely related to gaming or pen and paper rpgs/board games type of groups.

What grinds my gears is when I come home from a friend's house to find the bbq and party from the night before (other hostel people) to find my plant filled with cigarettes. I'm super pissed off so I've left a note that hopefully gets shared around that the potted plant is not an ashtray.

I found out what really grinds my gears yesterday...........A poorly adjusted clutch pedal.

My manager...I like her. She's generally friendly. But, goddamn, can she go a whole day without sticking a passive aggressive or slightly condescending post-it note on my desk?! She does this to everyone on my team, but it is irksome. She has a way of pointing out things I am aware of, she knows I'm aware of, and presenting them like revelations to consider. And always puts a goddamn smiley face on it.

I'm about to have to leave passive aggressive notes of my own at work, since that seems to be the only thing that works. Another thing that grinds my gears, actually: I am on a team of tenured reps at my job, and we work four ten hour shifts a week with an hour lunch. It is the primo shift. As such, Wednesdays and Thursdays, our desks are open. They have people from the crap teams who don't have their own personal desks and trainees sit there while we're gone, and they are the most uncivilized and inconsiderate people in the world.

I constantly come in on Friday to a desk covered in trash, my papers with essential transfer numbers for other departments/verbiage/etc. either ripped up with chewed gum inside, or missing, cords all over my desk instead of tucked away...this week, I found a ball of human hair, and someone had thumbtacked an open bag of fruit snacks over my dead air call verbiage. There was also a container of partially eaten Chinese food in the floor under my desk.

I shouldn't have to leave a note asking for these things not to happen, but I very well may. And if anyone is an ashole, it isn't too difficult to find out who was sitting where on a particular day, and it's not that difficult to go to HR, either.

Men who don't know when to stop after telling them you have a different sexual orientation and try to convince you otherwise. I'm usually polite and easy with everything else, even name-calling, but in that circumstance I tell them to piss off.
